d`Ouwe Werf Country InnDescription:
Established in 1802, d’Ouwe Werf is South Africa’s oldest existing inn and has defined hospitality and fine dining for centuries. Our guests enjoy the wonders of the Cape Winelands from the repose of our luxurious accommodation, situated in the historical core of the university town of Stellenbosch, only 45km from Cape Town, 20km from the sea and sur-rounded by beautiful mountains.
The "1802 Restaurant" is renowned for its tra-ditional and international cuisine and boasts a wine list that will satisfy even the most sophisticated connoisseur. On sunny days, sit outside in the vine-covered coffee gar-den, and enjoy a slice of cheesecake so good, it is held to be the best in town.
A myriad shops, mu-seums, art galleries and beautiful examples of Cape Dutch architecture are within easy walking distance of the hotel. Guests can sit back and sip sundowners in the tranquillity of a lovely verdant garden, or enjoy a dip in the heated swim-ming pool while others bask in the sun on the wooden deck or patio. And for all those who feel a bit more energetic, there are superb golf courses in close proximity to the town, guided historical village walks, wine tours and a variety of other activities that can be arranged from the hotel.
d’Ouwe Werf has 3 room types spread over 5 buildings. The rooms either overlook the beautiful landscaped courtyard and garden, or Church Street. No two rooms are the same but there are enough similarities to classify the three types. All rooms have airconditioning, tea/coffee-making facilities, hairdryer, M-Net, fridges and fully appointed bathrooms. Each category has both double and twin rooms.
The SUPERIOR rooms are our best. There are 14 spread over 3 buildings, with 6 being furnished in Georgian or Victorian style and 6 in a traditional Cape style. The superior rooms are larger than the rest and all have separate showers and baths, except for 2 junior suites situated in the historic building. The newer 6 rooms in the villa also have separate walk-in dressing rooms.
The LUXURY rooms are all situated in the original building (1802). They are also large rooms furnished with antiques and decorated and styled individually. The main difference between the Luxury and Superior is the size of the bathrooms. The Luxury rooms all have bath/shower combinations. As with the 6 Superior rooms, the style of furniture is Georgian or Victorian.
The CLASSIC rooms are slightly smaller than the rest and again have bath/shower combinations. These rooms are furnished with repro-duction pieces but each has its own personal character. The Classic rooms are all roughly the same size making them the ideal choice for smaller groups of travellers.
d' Ouwe Werf offers our guests the perfect retreat from the hub-bub of activities in Stellenbosch. The Voorkamer will beckon you to linger beside the old stove fire and sip a vintage wine for which the region is famous. A serene closure to your day might be spent beside the fire with a fine glass of port in "de Kromme Elleboog" ("the raised elbow"). Our private courtyard with the heated swimming pool at its centre is a tranquil setting to prepare you for an exciting day ahead, d'Ouwe Werf being the perfect setting from which to explore the splendour of the Cape Winelands. The courtyard's relaxing atmosphere will also ease away any strains after a busy day.
